Chantal Machabée decided to protect Dominique Ducharme

Following their morning skate, the Montreal Canadiens announced that assistant coach Luke Richardson would speak to the media on Wednesday. Although strange, this decision is probably meant to leave a media break for Dominique Ducharme.

In terms of training, the focus seems to have been on one-on-one duels. An aspect that the team has been particularly lacking in recent times.

For his part, Paul Byron was conspicuous by his absence, for whom it was a day of treatment. So Rem Pitlick replaced him on a line with Jake Evans and Josh Anderson.

Here are the trios and duos that were seen during training:
